This easy-to-read four-card layout is one of the most useful of all the layouts. The first rune is the significator, and the last shows the outcome, provided that the advice given is followed. The advice is broken down into two runes which can easily be compared and contrasted. Rune #2 suggests what to avoid, while #3 shows the path to take.
This layout can also be used to ask about the meaning of a rune from a previously executed layout that may have been unclear. In this usage, Rune #2 shows what it did not mean, while #3 clarifies the meaning.

It Deals with This
This rune literally means "year" and stands for the harvest of a good year's labours. It represents a permanent change for the better.
Othala reversed represents chaos and hopelessness. A general lack of roots can even lead to homelessness. Take care of that which you have, or you could end up losing more than you can imagine.
The Sun Rune symbolises power, warmth, growth and stability. Mental clarity in work and added warmth to your relationships is foretold by this rune. You will be able to achieve your objectives boldly.
Do not allow yourself to give in to confusion. That which you have built may be in jeopardy of crumbling. During times of weakness, we often discover what we are made of.
